The seemingly lazy wife is a master of metaphysics, specializing in dealing with those who dare to d

Zhou Yichuan noticed that Jun Yao's face was unusually flushed, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

What's wrong with her again?

Out of kindness, he reached out and supported Junyao's lower back.

But this act of touching him made Junyao feel as if she had been electrocuted, and she quickly jumped away.

"Thank you!"

"I'm fine!"

She was genuinely terrified.

To her, Zhou Yichuan was no different from a stranger.

She couldn't accept his initiation of intimate contact.

I always have this feeling that I'm being targeted by a thief...

This is bad!

She acted as if she loved him very much in order to appease the original owner's soul.

But if he actually lays a hand on her, she'll be the one who suffers!

After all, he had a notorious reputation and had a history of womanizing...

Junyao herself finds it dirty.

However, due to the unfinished mission she was carrying, she couldn't afford to fall out with Zhou Yichuan for the time being.

Just as she was struggling with this dilemma, Zhou Yichuan suddenly asked, "Where to now? Home, or back to the ward?"

Jun Yao was taken aback: Go home? That's so inappropriate!

She quickly pretended to be in pain, clutching her chest, "Um, my heart is still a little uncomfortable... It would be better to stay in the hospital tonight."

"Then let's go back to the ward." Zhou Yichuan said coldly, "Let's go back to the ward and talk in detail about the feng shui and metaphysics you used to study."

Jun Yao: "Huh?"

"Huh? What?" Zhou Yichuan pointed to the special jewelry box still being held by the bodyguard. "Didn't you want this string of beads? Explain yourself properly, and it's yours."

Jun Yao hesitated.

She really wanted the string of beads.

But this string of beads isn't worth her risking her life for!

The judge's identity cannot be easily revealed.

Otherwise, it would be considered a major work error.

What if I dock her KPIs?!

However, seeing that Zhou Yichuan was still staring at her, she couldn't give a reasonable explanation...

Under pressure, Junyao suddenly displayed her acting skills, saying with a playful smile:

"Zhou Yichuan, how can you believe everything?"

"Me, a lady from a respectable family, would I really go and learn such low-class things as feng shui and metaphysics?"

"I made that up! I thought Wei Yu was acting suspiciously, so I just wanted to test if he had anything to hide!"

"Who knew that this accidental trick would actually work, and I managed to get it out!"

"But you must be a staunch materialist, right?"

Jun Yao clenched her small fist, her eyes resolute, and said, "Zhou Yichuan, as progressive youth of the new era, we should believe in science and reject rumors!"

"Seduction techniques are just tricks used by charlatans to swindle money; don't take them seriously!"

Zhou Yichuan lifted his eyelids and casually glanced at Jun Yao. "So, you've been lying to me the whole time?"

Junyao feigned composure. "It wasn't exactly deception, just a little trick... and mainly to manipulate Wei Yu! Anyway, the process isn't important, the result is! She has ulterior motives towards you, that's the key! But expecting a string of beads to sway a man's heart is incredibly foolish! I bet this crystal bracelet is just something you'd buy for a few dozen dollars at the night market, don't take it too seriously. Such a nice box for such cheap stuff, it's such a waste! It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut! Let's take it out!"

Zhou Yichuan narrowed his eyes.

He glanced at the jewelry box.

The white marble bead at the clasp of the box was now slightly reddish.

The change in color indicates that there is indeed a problem with the thing being suppressed inside.

But the color isn't dark.

This indicates that the threat is not significant.

These things never dared to act recklessly in front of him.

With him there to keep things in order, nothing should happen.

It's fine to let her play with it.

Ye Yang understood Zhou Yichuan's silence and quickly reported, "President, Master Liang is on his way and will arrive within half an hour."

This means that even if something goes wrong, someone will be there to clean up the mess immediately.

Zhou Yichuan finally nodded and asked the security captain to bring over the jewelry box, from which he took out the bracelet.

Having left that dangerously struck wooden box, Junyao no longer needed to hide anything.

She acted as if she had never seen anything like it before, putting the unusual crystal bracelet on her wrist and examining it closely.

"It's so beautiful!"

As they spoke, a faint, magenta-purple fox silhouette gradually appeared in the corner of the ward.

The fox trembled, its qi and blood depleted.

Jun Yao secretly plucked a strand of hair, twisted it into a knot, and braided a temporary contract, temporarily binding the little fox fairy to herself.

Then, through the contract, she secretly transferred the spiritual energy she had purified from the malevolent energy to heal the little fox fairy's injuries.

Although the little fox spirit could not return to human form, she was finally able to speak.

Little Fox Fairy: "Waaah!... Kind person! I want to be good to you for the rest of my life!"

Jun Yao sneered.

The vixen really knows how to sweet-talk people.

"I'm not lying to you!"

The little fox spirit had a clear, youthful voice, her sobs tinged with determination as she assured him, "They all just want to use me, to exploit me... Only you gave me spiritual energy, you're a good person! I'll stick with you! My name is Xiao Jiu, Master, from now on you will be Xiao Jiu's only master!"

The magenta-purple Xiao Jiu is actually based on a small fox that is only half a meter long.

Its coat is dry and dull, its nose is dry and cracked, and its claws are rough and messy, clearly indicating malnutrition.

We don't know what terrible things it went through.

However, it does not possess any evil spirits, malevolent energy, or violent tendencies.

Since it's willing to follow us, let's keep it with us for now.

It's good to have an extra helper.

Jun Yao glanced at it and warned it to behave.

Xiao Jiu wagged her tail excitedly: "Mmm! Xiao Jiu is super well-behaved!"

Jun Yao withdrew her gaze from Xiao Jiu, lay back on the bed, and calmly closed her eyes.

This little fox spirit reminded her of the companion she had longed for day and night for the past three years.

If it weren't for the evil spirit that originally possessed this body interfering.

She should have met her old friend by now.

It's okay.

It'll be soon anyway!

Once she fulfills the original owner's wish, she will be able to revive that guy.

When the time comes, she will give Xiao Jiu to him as a gift, so that he can teach this wild and unruly little fox spirit.

After all, he had been asleep for a long time.

I just got back, shouldn't I find something to do?

Thinking about all this, Junyao's heart slowly swelled up.

My eyes felt slightly warm.

As she got hotter, she... fell asleep.

Hearing soft snoring coming from the direction of the hospital bed, Zhou Yichuan dismissed everyone else, leaving only Ye Yang and the security captain waiting at the door.

Junyao's sleeping face was very peaceful.

But her complexion was still pale.

Zhou Yichuan rang the bell to call the doctor, who came to examine Junyao again.

"The young mistress's health shows no immediate signs of danger. However, she is weak and may be feeling down due to the negative public opinion..."

The doctor adjusted his glasses and earnestly advised, "For the next couple of days, try to keep the young mistress away from the internet and keep her away from online gossip. It would be best if she could rest and recuperate peacefully."

Zhou Yichuan nodded slightly, seemingly taking the doctor's words to heart.

After the doctor left, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the half of Jiangcheng that had fallen into slumber, and turned on his phone.

As soon as he typed "Qiao Junyao" into the search box, he immediately saw a series of related links.

#Qiao Junyao is a menace

#Qiao Junyao ruins people's lives

#Qiao Junyao should die

Everyone blamed Qiao Junyao for Wei Yu's deformed face.

Even Qiao Junyao's team failed to produce a decent statement three hours after the incident.

Zhou Yichuan walked to the bedside table and picked up Junyao's phone.

The screen shows more than 70 missed calls.

There are still 99+ unread messages.

Even though my phone was on Do Not Disturb mode, new messages kept coming in.

Zhou Yichuan tried several phone passwords.

He eventually unlocked the screen using his own birthday.

The call from her manager, "Lisa," came in immediately, like a ferocious beast.

"Qiao Junyao! So you're still alive!"

"Do you even realize the enormity of the mess you've made?!"

"You're going to lose money! You're going to lose a lot of money!"

"Explain yourself clearly to me now: what are your plans next?"

"Don't think you can just hide and get away with it!"

"I'm telling you! If you don't pull yourself together right now, you'll have to pay the company at least 18 billion!"
